'The kindly welcome accorded by the press to my volume Studies of Childhood has suggested to me that there was much in it which might be made attractive to a wider class of readers than that addressed in a psychological work. I have, accordingly, prepared the following selections, cutting out abstruse discussions, dropping as far as possible technical language, and adapting the style to the requirements of the general reader. In order to shorten the work the last two chapters—״Extracts from a Father's Diary" and "George Sand's Childhood״—have been omitted. The order of treatment has been altered somewhat, and a number of stories has been added. I hope that the result may succeed in recommending what has long been to myself one of the most delightful of subjects to many who would not be disposed to read a larger and more difficult work, and to draw on a few of these, at least, to a closer and more serious inspection of it.'

'Having read with much care the proof sheets of this book, I am prepared to say three things about it, and it gives me pleasure to say them here.THE BOOK IS WELL NAMED. ״THE UNFOLDING LIFE." Turn which way we will, we see life unfolding all about us, and yet how faintly are its mysteries understood! And is it not the one thing above all others, which teachers, mothers, fathers and all of us, need to understand? It is well that our attention has been called to this most vital of all themes by a book, whose very name compels attention to its content, and whose content is but its name in fuller treatment.THE BOOK IS WELL WRITTEN. Such books as this should be read slowly and pondered well; but this book by its fascination will tempt one to read too rapidly. Its line of argument is logical; its diction is as pure as the bubbling stream; its truths are evident and compelling. It presents the purest psychology stripped of all mystifying technicalities, and clothed in language which even a child can understand. The reason for this is plain. It is the "Beaten Oil" drawn from the rich and ripe experience of one of the best students of childhood and teachers of children in our land.THE BOOK IS WELL TIMED. Teachers are seeking now as never before to understand the soil in which the living seed of God's Word is to be cast. Nothing can be more important than this. The author deals largely with the every day problems of the average home and Sunday School, thus rendering the highest service to the great army of ordinary teachers and mothers. While this book will be hailed with joy by all such, it will nevertheless command a place by the side of the highest grade books on the subject. There never was a time when any book on any subject was more greatly needed than this book is needed now. It would be a boon indeed to every home, and to every Sunday School as well, if all teachers, mothers, yes, and fathers too, would read and re-read "THE UNFOLDING LIFE.״

'This second volume contains the further investigations of Professor Preyer on the mind of the child. The former volume contained the first and second portions, devoted respectively to the development of the senses and of the will. The present volume contains the third part, treating of the development of the intellect; and three appendixes are added containing supplementary matter.Professor Preyer considers that the development of the power of using language is the most prominent index to the unfolding of the intellect. He differs with Professor Max Müller, however, on the question whether the operation of thinking can be carried on without the use of words (see the recent elaborate work of the latter on "The Science of Thought״).At my suggestion, the painstaking translator of this book has prepared a full conspectus, showing the results of Professor Preyer's careful observations in a chronological order, arranged by months. This considerable labor will render the book more practical, inasmuch as it will enable each reader to see at a glance the items of development of the child in the [Page vi]several departments brought together in epochs. This makes it possible to institute comparative observations under the guidance of Professor Preyer's method. I think that I do not exaggerate the value of this conspectus when I say that it doubles the value of the work to the reader.'

The subtitle for this classic book is, "FOR DEVELOPING THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL POWERS OF ALL CHILDREN, FROM ONE TO SEVEN YEARS OF AGE.״'In again presenting this volume to the world, I trust I feel thankful to God for the favour with which the Infant System has been received, and for all the aid I have enjoyed in my course of labour. Had the measures I originated for the development of the infant mind, and the improvement of the moral character, been sanctioned at first, as many now think they should have been, their progress would, undoubtedly, have been far greater; but when I consider what has been accomplished under the divine benediction, and amid greater difficulties than ever beset the path of an individual similarly occupied, I know not how to express the gratitude of which I am conscious. It seems proper and even necessary to remark, that the system explained in this volume, is the result of many years of labour. Thousands of children have been attentively observed, and for the necessities that arose in their instruction, provision has been made. Others have doubtless reached some of the conclusions at which I have arrived, but this is only another instance of the coincidence in judgment and effort, often discoverable in persons far apart, whose attention has been directed to similiar subjects; but with the exception of the elliptical plan, devised by Dr. Gilchrist, I am not aware that I owe an idea or contrivance to any individual whatever. Upwards of twenty-five thousand children have been now under my own care, in various parts of the United Kingdom, whose age has not exceeded six years; myself, my daughters, and my agents, have organized many score of schools, and thus I have had opportunities of studying the infant mind and heart, such as none of my contemporaries have ever possessed.Still I am aware I have much to learn. I am far less satisfied with the extent of my knowledge, and far less confident of its perfection and completeness now than I was in the earlier part of my course. The whole energies of my mind, however, having been thrown upon the subject, and the whole of my time for the third of a century having been zealously devoted to it, I trust the volume will contain knowledge of a more plain, simple, and practical character than is elsewhere to be found:—perhaps it may not be presumption to say than can elsewhere be found. Should I have the pleasure to labour for years to come, I trust I shall have much more to communicate on the subject.'

This is a free book by BookBoon.'There are many reasons why someone wants to be self-employed and be his own boss. Perhaps you see it as a primary or secondary source of income. You may want to pass your experience, information, craft or knowledge on to others. Some people aren’t in it for the money but merely wish to do good to others, or want to do something useful after retirement. Whatever your reason, your expertise or your drive, there will always be a demand for independent contractors.An independent contractor can be a consultant providing services, a skilled craftsman, an artist, a developer or a designer, a manufacturer producing goods, etcetera. All offer different types of services. What they have in common is that they work for more than one client outside of an employer-employee relationship, and do so on their own behalf.This book uses the term “independent contractor” for in essence that is what it is: an independent person to whom work is contracted out. As will be emphasised in this book, independence is key. It is the term that governs your tax status. Being a contractor also reflects that you are, in effect, not your own boss. You serve multiple clients, each with their own requirements, concerns, and demands. You do that on your own.Organisations that hire independent contractors include businesses of all sizes, government institutions, individuals; in short anybody who has temporary or recurring needs but is not willing or able to hire regular employees for the purpose. Whatever a client’s reason is for outsourcing to an independent contractor, it always pays to know why you are hired.Possessing the necessary skills to offer your product, whether it is a service or they are goods, is of course essential, but the continuity of your business requires far more than that. At some moment every project comes to an end, every order will be fulfilled. You need to actively pursue new projects and clients at all times. A successful independent contractor is equally good at selling his product, at effectively communicating with prospective and existing clients, and at maintaining a proper administration, as well as at his actual work. You must either possess some of these qualities yourself or hire others to perform the activities and duties for you. The latter allows you to free up direly needed time to focus on the aspects of the business at which you are good.This book serves as a guideline to start and care for your business as an independent contractor.'
